In reply to the discussion: 24% of Dems/Independents say Biden shouldn't run . 41% say Sanders shouldn't run [View all]Demsrule86
(68,539 posts)60. I understand you point, but I believe Democrats need to run in Democratic primaries...and
all this third party shit only causes us to lose elections we could win if we showed more loyalty to the only party who can stop the 'GOP...Democrats. If Sen. Sanders had not made such a big deal of switching back after 16 and again this year, maybe I would feel differently, but it is what it is. He won't get my vote in a primary...of course I will vote for whoever wins the primary.
